Lake refuses to concede in Arizona governor’s race she lost
The Associated Press ^ | November 17, 2022 | By JONATHAN J. COOPER (D-AP)

PHOENIX (AP) — Refusing to concede, Kari Lake, the defeated Republican candidate for Arizona governor, said Thursday she is assembling lawyers and collecting evidence of voters having trouble casting ballots on Election Day as she considers her next move.

Lake, in a 2 1/2-minute video, made no mention of giving up in her most extensive public comments since losing the election. Before the election, she had refused to say that she would concede if she lost the race to Democrat Katie Hobbs.

“Rest assured I have assembled the best and brightest legal team, and we are exploring every avenue to correct the many wrongs that have been done this past week,” Lake said. “I’m doing everything in my power to right these wrongs.”

She pointed to long lines at some polling places that were exacerbated by problems with ballot printers at about a third of the vote centers in Maricopa County, the largest county in the state. She said the problems disenfranchised voters who couldn’t wait at the polls.

“What happened to Arizonans on Election Day is unforgivable,” she said.

County election officials said that all ballots were counted and that voters could go to any polling place in the county, many of which had little to no line, with wait times posted online.

Standard Al Franken playbook - count, recount and keep counting and finding and making new ballots til you get the results you want and then declare the election settled and inviolate.

No one had any issue with Stacy Abrams insisting she won... for four years after the fact and when she clearly lost. I stand with Keri Lake.

It’s the right move. There’s no excuse for how long the counting took. On that basis alone: no concession.

Who suspected that Franken would be so good at electioneering yet so weak when the “me too” crowd cried for his resignation?

Especially when he had the inspiring model of Bill Clinton’s victory at the Battle of Lewinsky to follow?

MARICOPA COUNTY BROKE THE CHAIN OF CUSTODY

This reconciliation should happen before the ballots left the voting centers in order to preserve the chain of custody

UNBELIEVABLE!

Today in Tabulation: staff is completing a reconciliation of ballots cast against check ins. It will be on our live stream and political party observers are present. This routine process happens every election to ensure only legal ballots are counted.

Why does the CIA’s Mockingbird flagship care so much about the AZ gubernatorial election theft?

Lets contemplate a few things:

1- ONLY Republican-heavy precincts ran out of paper and ink for ballots, had significant numbers of machines down. check

2- Same precincts now have eye witnesses stating that the machines that were “working” were rejecting almost exclusively Republican-marked ballots - check

3- odd math - when the final days of ballot dumps came in - and several were Lake-favoring in actual number - yet Hobbs’ “lead” continued to grow.

We won’t even dig into Hobbs being the very official responsible ultimately for the election’s counting, integrity, and certification.

This is the standard operating procedure in that county. The same happened in 2020. Well-documented.

And lest we forget the tabulation facility where the security cameras set up to monitor the counting conveniently went down for hours while ballot dumps came in and were supposedly counted with no supervision. But hey - “fairest elections ever”
